What the candidates say about the program My major apprehension while joining this program was whether this virtual classroom would be able to match face-to-face teaching. But actually, numerous modes of interaction with the faculty (mail, raise hand, anonymous poll, regular poll, two-way audio-video,..) makes the platform more interactive than a regular face-to-face class. - Varsha Adhikari, DGM Finance & Legal, Stovee Industries Ltd The course curriculum and discussions during the class are very helpful in my professional life. I really liked the interaction with the faculty and peers which helped in clarifying any doubts I had during the course. The course gave me an overall view of finance and improved my decision making ability. I could apply the knowledge gained in the program to my day to day work. I would recommend this program to people looking for career development - Ayannick Dsill Associate SBI
